When You're Working On A Project, Make Sure At Least One Person Knows What They Are Doing.

The Life And Ventures Of Mickey Mouse Have Been Closely Bound Up With My Own Personal And Professional Life.

Whether You Say You Can't Or You Can, You're Right.

Self Empowerment

Around Here, However, We Don't Look Backwards For Very Long.

Laughter Is America's Most Important Export.

Here You Leave Today And Enter The World Of Yesterday, Tomorrow, And Fantasy.

Think, Believe, Dream, And Dare.

Biggest Problem? Well, I'd Say It's Been My Biggest Problem All My Life. Money. It Takes A Lot Of Money To Make These Dreams Come True. From The Very Start It Was A Problem. Getting The Money To Open Disneyland. About Seventeen Million It Took. And We Had Everything Mortgaged Including My Personal Insurance.

Do Not Be Fooled By Its Commonplace Appearance. Like So Many Things, It Is Not What Outside, But What Is Inside That Counts.

The American Child Is A Highly Intelligent Human Being - Characteristically Sensitive, Humorous, Open-minded, Eager To Learn, And Has A Strong Sense Of Excitement, Energy, And Healthy Curiosity About The World In Which He Lives. Lucky Indeed Is The Grown-up Who Manages To Carry These Same Characteristics Into Adult Life. It Usually Makes For A Happy And Successful Individual.

Once A Man Has Tasted Freedom He Will Never Be Content To Be A Slave.

For Every Laugh, There Should Be A Tear.

I Believe That Laughter Is Our Greatest Export

I Have No Use For People Who Throw Their Weight Around As Celebrities, Or For Those Who Fawn Over You Just Because You Are Famous.

It Seems To Me Shallow And Arrogant For Any Man In These Times To Claim He Is Completely Self-made, That He Owes All His Success To His Own Unaided Efforts. Many Hands And Hearts And Minds Generally Contribute To Anyone's Notable Achievements.

Landscapes Of Great Wonder And Beauty Lie Under Our Feet And All Around Us. They Are Discovered In Tunnels In The Ground, The Heart Of Flowers, The Hollows Of Trees, Fresh-water Ponds, Seaweed Jungles Between Tides, And Even Drops Of Water. Life In These Hidden Worlds Is More Startling In Reality Than Anything We Can Imagine. How Could This Earth Of Ours, Which Is Only A Speck In The Heavens, Have So Much Variety Of Life, So Many Curious And Exciting Creatures?

It's Always A Challenge Bringing A Great Story Classic To The Screen. Giving Visual Form To The Characters And Places That Have Only Existed In The Imagination. But It's The Kind Of Challenge We Enjoy.

I'm Doing This Because I Want To Do It Better.

We Keep Moving Forward, Opening Up New Doors And Doing New Things, Because We're Curious... And Curiosity Keeps Leading Us Down New Paths.

While The Worriers Are Worrying, The Planners Are Planning And The Accountants Are Figuring Out Why We Can't Afford It, I'm Busy Getting Started.

You Little Fool. You Thought You Could Defeat The Most Powerful Being On Earth.

I Always Like To Look On The Optimistic Side Of Life.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind.

I Believe In Being A Modivator.

My Fun Is Working On A Project And Solving The Problems.

A Good Concert, If You're Kind Of Relaxed, It Can Do Something To You. It's Sort Of An Emotional Break You Get By Listening To Music.

Disneyland Is Not Just Another Amusement Park. It's Unique, And I Want It Kept That Way. Besides, You Don't Work For A Dollar - You Work To Create And Have Fun.

Leadership Means That A Group, Large Or Small, Is Willing To Entrust Authority To A Person Who Has Shown Judgement, Wisdom, Personal Appeal, And Proven Competence.

A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes, When You're Fast Asleep.

Why Would I Want To Be President? I'm The King Of Disneyland.

She Believed In Dreams, All Right, But She Also Believed In Doing Something About Them. When Prince Charming Didn't Come Along, She Went Over To The Palace And Got Him.

I Believe In Being A Motivator.

The Way To Get Started Is To Quit Talking And Begin Doing.

What Seems Real To The Mind Can Be As Important As Any Material Fact. We Live By The Spirit And The Imagination As Well As By Our Senses. Cartoon Animation Can Give Fantasy The Same Reality As Those Things We Can Touch And See And Hear.

When I Was Poor Living In A Garage In Kansas I Began To Draw The Mice That Scampered Over My Desk. That Is How Mickey Mouse Was Born.

Being A Celebrity Doesn't Even Seem To Keep The Fleas Off Our Dogs — And If Being A Celebrity Won't Give Me An Advantage Over A Couple Of Fleas, Then I Guess There Can't Be Much In Being A Celebrity After All.

I Don't Want To Please Everybody. I'd Get A Little Worried If I Did Something And Everybody Was Pleased With It.

I'd Say It's Been My Biggest Problem All My Life... It's Money. It Takes A Lot Of Money To Make These Dreams Come True.

Always Fight For Quality, Whether Giving Or Receiving.

Look, You're Really Cute, But I Can't Understand What You're Saying

Money Doesn't Excite Me - My Ideas Excite Me.

Movies Are A Medium Of Expression Like A Symphony Orchestra...or A Painter's Brush And Canvas.

Laughter Is No Enemy To Learning

Once A Man Has Tasted Freedom He Will Never Be Content To Be A Slave. That Is Why I Believe That This Frightfulness We See Everywhere Today Is Only Temporary. Tomorrow Will Be Better For As Long As America Keeps Alive The Ideals Of Freedom And A Better Life. All Men Will Want To Be Free And Share Our Way Of Life. There Must Be So Much That I Should Have Said, But Haven't. What I Will Say Now Is Just What Most Of Us Are Probably Thinking Every Day. I Thank God And America For The Right To Live And Raise My Family Under The Flag Of Tolerance, Democracy And Freedom.

People Look At You And Me To See What They Are Supposed To Be. And, If We Don't Disappoint Them, Maybe, Just Maybe, They Won't Disappoint Us.

Speaking For The One Field Which I Feel Definitely Qualified To Comment On, I Fully Believe The Animated Picture Will Emerge As One Of The Greatest Mediums, Not Only Of Entertainment But Also Of Education.

Animation Can Explain Whatever The Mind Of Man Can Conceive.

A Person Should Set His Goals As Early As He Can And Devote All His Energy And Talent To Getting There.

People Look At Me In Many Ways. They've Said, 'the Guy Has No Regard For Money.' That Is Not True. I Have Had Regard For Money. It Depends On Who's Saying That. Some People Worship Money As Something You've Got To Have Piled Up In A Big Pile Somewhere. I've Only Thought About Money In One Way, And That Is To Do Something With It. I Don't Think There's A Thing I Own That I Will Ever Get The Benefit Of Except Through Doing Things With It. I Don't Even Want The Dividends From The Stock In The Studio, Because The Government's Going To Take It Away. I'd Rather Have That In (the Company) Working.

Fear Too Often Spells Failure.

No Matter What The Provocation, I Never Fire A Man Who Is Honestly Trying To Deliver A Job. Few Workers Who Become Established At The Disney Studio Ever Leave Voluntarily Or Otherwise, And Many Have Been On The Payroll All Their Working Lives.

Sheer Animated Fantasy Is Still My First And Deepest Production Impulse.

When I'm Dead I Don't Want A Funeral. I Want People To Remember Me Alive.

The Insignia Meant A Lot To The Men Who Were Fighting ... I Had To Do It ... I Owed It To Them.

I Never Called My Work An 'art'. It's Part Of Show Business, The Business Of Building Entertainment.

Of All The Things I've Done, The Most Vital Is Coordinating Those Who Work With Me And Aiming Their Efforts At A Certain Goal.

I Have Watched Constantly That In Our Work The Highest Moral And Spiritual Standards Are Upheld, Whether My Productions Deal With Fable Or With Stories Of Living Action.

Always, As You Travel, Assimilate The Sounds And Sights Of The World.

There Are Fashions In Reading, Even In Thinking. You Don't Have To Follow Them Unless You Want To. On The Other Hand, Watch Out. Don't Stick Too Closely To Your Favorite Subject. That Would Keep You From Adventuring Into Other Fields. It's Silly To Build A Wall Around Your Interests.

We Call It Epcot, Spelled E-p-c-o-t: Experimental Prototype Community Of Tomorrow. Here It Is In Larger Scale. Epcot Will Take Its Cue From The New Ideas And New Technologies That Are Now Emerging From The Creative Centers Of American Industry. It Will Be A Community Of Tomorrow That Will Never Be Completed, But Will Always Be Introducing And Testing And Demonstrating New Materials And Systems. And Epcot Will Always Be A Showcase To The World For The Ingenuity And Imagination Of American Free Enterprise.

To All Who Come To This Happy Place: Welcome. Disneyland Is Your Land. Here Age Relives Fond Memories Of The Past, And Here Youth May Savor The Challenge And Promise Of The Future. Disneyland Is Dedicated To The Ideals, The Dreams, And The Hard Facts That Have Created America; With The Hope That It Will Be A Source Of Joy And Inspiration To All The World.

One Thing It Takes To Accomplish Something Is Courage.

Nothing Is Impossible

Just Remember, It All Started With A Mouse.

Behind Every Great Amusement Park Is A Great Fan Site.

Moving Pictures Can Be And Will Be New And Fresh And Exciting As Long As There Are Ideas And Talent In The World.

When You Believe In A Thing, Believe In It All The Way, Implicitly And Unquestionably.

After The Rain, The Sun Will Reappear. There Is Life. After The Pain, The Joy Will Still Be Here.

In Most Instances, The Driving Force Behind The Action Is The Mood, The Personality, The Attitude Of The Character - Or All Three. Therefore, The Mind Is The Pilot. We Think Of Things Before The Body Does Them.

Children Are People, And They Should Have To Reach To Learn About Things, To Understand Things, Just As Adults Have To Reach If They Want To Grow In Mental Stature. Life Is Composed Of Lights And Shadows, And We Would Be Untruthful, Insincere, And Saccharine If We Tried To Pretend There Were No Shadows. Most Things Are Good, And They Are The Strongest Things; But There Are Evil Things Too, And You Are Not Doing A Child A Favor By Trying To Shield Him From Reality. The Important Thing Is To Teach A Child That Good Can Always Triumph Over Evil.

I Am Interested In Entertaining People, In Bringing Pleasure, Particularly Laughter, To Others, Rather Than Being Concerned With "expressing" Myself With Obscure Creative Impressions.

Times And Conditions Change So Rapidly That We Must Keep Our Aim Constantly Focused On The Future.

I Don't Pretend To Know Anything About Art. I Make Pictures For Entertainment, And Then The Professors Tell Me What They Mean.

You Can Design And Create, And Build The Most Wonderful Place In The World. But It Takes People To Make The Dream A Reality.

God Wisely Designed The Human Body So That We Can Neither Pat Our Own Backs Nor Kick Ourselves Too Easily. The More You Like Yourself, The Less You Are Like Anyone Else, Which Makes You Unique.

To Some People, I Am Kind Of A Merlin Who Takes Lots Of Crazy Chances, But Rarely Makes Mistakes. I've Made Some Bad Ones, But Fortunately, The Successes Have Come Along Fast Enough To Cover Up The Mistakes. When You Go To Bat As Many Times As I Do, And Continually Improve Upon Your Mistakes, You're Bound To Get A Good Average.

I'm Not The Perfectionist Anymore. It's My Staff. They're The Ones Always Insisting On Doing Something Better And Better.

Something Better

Don't Tell Me About The Problems - I Make The Problems.

Recession Doesn't Deserve The Right To Exist. There Are Just Too Many Things To Be Done In Science And Engineering To Be Bogged Down By Temporary Economic Dislocations.

Togetherness, For Me, Means Teamwork. It Makes Us Reflect How Completely Dependent We Are Upon One Another In Our Social And Commercial Life. The More Diversified Our Labors And Interests Have Become In The Modern World, The More Surely Need To Integrate Our Efforts To Justify Our Individual Selves And Our Civilization.

The Immediate Need For Education And Practice In Using Our Natural Resources Of Soil, Forest, Water, Wildlife And Areas Of Inspirational Beauty To The Best Advantage Of All, For This Generation And Others To Come, Is Again Apparent To Every Observant Citizen.

Born Of Necessity, The Little Fellow Literally Freed Us Of Immediate Worry. He Provided The Means For Expanding Our Organization To Its Present Dimensions And For Extending The Medium Of Cartoon Animation Toward New Entertainment Levels. He Spelled Production Liberation For Us.

Do What You Do So Well - And So Uniquely - That People Can't Resist Telling Others About You

The Idea Of Disneyland Is A Simple One. It Will Be A Place For People To Find Happiness And Knowledge.

When People Laugh At Mickey Mouse, It's Because He's So Human; And That Is The Secret Of His Popularity.

Even Miracles Take A Little Time.

If I Haven't Thought About Six Impossible Things Before Breakfast, I Consider The Day Wasted.

Impossible Things

We Love To Entertain Kings And Queens, But At Disneyland, Everyone Is A V.i.p.

Kings And Queens

Direct And Easy Communications — Freedom Of Speech In All Forms And In Its Broadest Sense — Has Become Vital To The Very Survival Of A Civilized Humanity.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind. You Can Be Happy Or You Can Be Unhappy.

I Try To Build A Full Personality For Each Of Our Cartoon Characters - To Make Them Personalities.

Happiness Is A State Of Mind. It's Just According To The Way You Look At Things.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It.

When You're Curious, You Find Lots Of Interesting Things To Do.

We Felt That The Public, And Especially The Children, Like Animals That Are Cute And Little. I Think We Are Rather Indebted To Charlie Chaplin For The Idea. We Wanted Something Appealing, And We Thought Of A Tiny Bit Of A Mouse That Would Have Something Of The Wistfulness Of Chaplin - A Little Fellow Trying To Do The Best He Could.

There Is No Magic In Magic, It's All In The Details.

The Wonders Of Nature Are Endless.

Wonder Of Nature

But They Say If You Dream A Thing More Than Once, It's Sure To Come True.

Sleeping Beauty

I Think What I Want Disneyland To Be Most Of All Is A Happy Place - A Place Where Adults And Children Can Experience Together Some Of The Wonders Of Life, Of Adventure, And Feel Better Because Of It.

We Don't Make Movies To Make Money, We Make Money To Make More Movies.

Nearly Everybody Gets Twitterpated In The Springtime. [. . . ] You Begin To Get Weak In The Knees. Your Head's In A Whirl. And Then You Feel Light As A Feather, And Before You Know It, You're Walking On Air. And Then You Know What? You're Knocked For A Loop, And You Completely Lose Your Head!

It's No Secret That We Were Sticking Just About Every Nickel We Had On The Chance That People Would Really Be Interested In Something Totally New And Unique In The Field Of Entertainment.

We Have Always Tried To Be Guided By The Basic Idea That, In The Discovery Of Knowledge, There Is Great Entertainment - As, Conversely, In All Good Entertainment, There Is Always Some Grain Of Wisdom, Humanity, Or Enlightenment To Be Gained.

I Don't Believe In Playing Down To Children, Either In Life Or In Motion Pictures. I Didn't Treat My Own Youngsters Like Fragile Flowers, And I Think No Parent Should.

Everyone Falls Down. Getting Back Up Is How You Learn How To Walk.

Think Beyond Your Lifetime If You Want To Accomplish Something Truly Worthwhile.

Leadership Shows Judgment, Wisdom, Personal Appeal And Proven Competence.

If Anybody Gets Highbrow Around The Studio, Out He Goes.

The Mind Is The Pilot. We Think Of Things Before The Body Does Them.

Do Anything Better Than It Was Ever Done Before And Youll Get Rich.

I Can Never Stand Still. I Must Explore And Experiment. I Am Never Satisfied With My Work. I Resent The Limitations Of My Own Imagination.

Faith. Trust. And Pixie Dust.

It's Something That Will Never Be Finished. Something That I Can Keep Developing...and Adding To.

Faith I Have, In Myself, In Humanity, In The Worthwhileness Of The Pursuits In Entertainment For The Masses. But Wide Awake, Not Blind Faith, Moves Me. My Operations Are Based On Experience, Thoughtful Observation And Warm Fellowship With My Neighbors At Home And Around The World.

The Way I See It, Disneyland Will Never Be Finished.

A Good Ending Is Vital To A Picture, The Single Most Important Element, Because It Is What The Audience Takes With Them Out Of The Theater.

The Sky Has Never Been The Limit. We Are Our Own Limits. It's Then About Breaking Our Personal Limits And Outgrowing Ourselves To Live Our Best Lives. All The Adversity I've Had In My Life, All My Troubles And Obstacles, Have Strengthened Me.

The Difference In Winning & Losing Is Most Often, Not Quitting.

Besides, You Don't Work For A Dollar - You Work To Create And Have Fun.

Amusement Parks

Growing Up Isn't Simply Getting Old... Growing Up Is When You Don't Believe Anymore.

My Persistence Is The Measure Of The Belief I Have In Myself.

The Life And Ventures Of Mickey Mouse Have Been Closely Bound Up With My Own Personal And Professional Life. It Is Understandable That I Should Have Sentimental Attachment For The Little Personage Who Played So Big A Part In The Course Of Disney Productions And Has Been So Happily Accepted As An Amusing Friend Wherever Films Are Shown Around The World. He Still Speaks For Me And I Still Speak For Him.

The Difference In The Profit And Loss Is Usually ... Do Not Quit.

Everyone Has To Contribute, Or They Become Laborers.

All The Adversity I've Had In My Life, All My Troubles And Obstacles, Have Strengthened Me... You May Not Realize It When It Happens, But A Kick In The Teeth May Be The Best Thing In The World For You.

When I Started On Disneyland, My Wife Used To Say, "but Why Do You Want To Build An Amusement Park? They're So Dirty." I Told Her That Was Just The Point - Mine Wouldn't Be.

Frying Pans! Who Knew, Right?

Every Man Is Captain Of His Career And There Must Be Cooperation All Around If He Is To Get What He Wants Out Of Life.

I Do Not Want To Make Teaching Films. If I Did, I Would Create A Separate Organization. It Is Not Higher Education That Interests Me So Much As General Mass Education.

There's Really No Secret About Our Approach. We Keep Moving Forward - Opening Up New Doors And Doing New Things - Because We're Curious. And Curiosity Keeps Leading Us Down New Paths. We're Always Exploring And Experimenting. We Call It Imagineering - The Blending Of Creative And Imagination With Technical Know-how.

We've Got To Fight Against Bigness. If A School Gets Too Large, You Lose An Intimacy With The Students; They Begin To Feel They're Just Part Of A Big Complex. I Don't Think You Can Create Too Well In A Big Plant. That's Why I Always Tried To Avoid Bigness In The Studio.

There Is A Natural Hootchy-kootchy Motion To A Goldfish.

I've Always Been Bored With Just Making Money. I've Wanted To Do Things; I Wanted To Build Things, To Get Something Going. What Money Meant To Me Was That I Was Able To Get Money To Do That For Me.

I Think Of A Child's Mind As A Blank Book. During The First Years Of His Life, Much Will Be Written On The Pages. The Quality Of That Writing Will Affect His Life Profoundly.

In My View, Wholesome Pleasure, Sport, And Recreation Are As Vital To This Nation As Productive Work And Should Have A Large Share In The National Budget.

I Don't Pose As An Authority On Anything At All, I Follow The Opinions Of The Ordinary People I Meet, And I Take Pride In The Close-knit Teamwork With My Organization.

Art Was Always A Means To An End With Me. You Get An Idea, And You Just Can't Wait. Once You've Started, Then You're In There With The Punches Flying. There's Plenty Of Trouble, But You Can Handle It. You Can't Back Out. It Gets You Down Once In A While, But It's Exciting. Our Whole Business Is Exciting.

The Important Thing Is The Family. If You Can Keep The Family Together - And That's The Backbone Of Our Whole Business, Catering To Families - That's What We Hope To Do.

I Have Long Felt That The Way To Keep Children Out Of Trouble Is To Keep Them Interested In Things.

The Flower That Blooms In Adversity Is The Rarest And Most Beautiful Of All.

All Of Our Dreams Can Come True...

I Just Want It To Look Like Nothing Else In The World. And It Should Be Surrounded By A Train.

Forever Is A Long Long Time And Time Has A Way Of Changing Things.

Somehow, I Can't Believe That There Are Any Heights That Can't Be Scaled By A Man By A Man Who Knows The Secret Of Making Dreams Come True. The Special Secret It Seems To Me Is Summarized In Four C's. They Are Curiosity, Courage, Confidence And Constancy. And The Greatest Of All Is Confidence. When You Believe In A Thing, Believe In It All The Way, Implicitly And Unquestionably.

I Don't Know If It's Art, But I Know I Like It.

Have Confidence In Your Ability To Do It Right, And Work Hard To Do The Best Possible Job.

A Man Should Never Neglect His Family For Business.

The Same Thing Could Have Happened On Halloween If Somebody In The Neighborhood Had Jumped Out And Scared Him.

To The Youngsters Of Today, I Say "believe In The Future, The World Is Getting Better; There Still Is Plenty Of Opportunity." Why, Would You Believe It, When I Was A Kid I Thought It Was Already Too Late For Me To Make Good At Anything.

I Started, Actually, To Make My First Animated Cartoon In 1920. Of Course, They Were Very Crude Things Then And I Used Sort Of Little Puppet Things.

I Just Want To Leave You With This Thought, That It's Just Been Sort Of A Dress Rehearsal, And We're Just Getting Started. So If Any Of You Start Resting On Your Laurels, I Mean Just Forget It, Because...we Are Just Getting Started.

To Succeed, Work Hard, Never Give Up And Above All Cherish A Magnificent Obsession.

We Did It Disneyland, In The Knowledge That Most Of The People I Talked To Thought It Would Be A Financial Disaster - Closed And Forgotten Within The First Year.

In Our Animation We Must Show Only The Actions And Reactions Of A Character, But We Must Picture Also With The Action. . . The Feeling Of Those Characters.

Part Of The Disney Success Is Our Ability To Create A Believable World Of Dreams That Appeals To All Age Groups. The Kind Of Entertainment We Create Is Meant To Appeal To Every Member Of The Family.

All Cartoon Characters And Fables Must Be Exaggeration, Caricatures. It Is The Very Nature Of Fantasy And Fable.

Exaggeration Is

The Era We Are Living In Today Is A Dream Of Coming True.

The Past Can Hurt. But The Way I See It, You Can Either Run From It, Or Learn From It.

Every Child Is Born Blessed With A Vivid Imagination.

Get A Good Idea And Stay With It. Dog It, And Work At It Until It's Done Right.

Main Street, U.s.a. Is America At The Turn Of The Century--the Crossroads Of An Era. The Gas Lamps And The Electric Lamp--the Horse-drawn Car And Auto Car. Main Street Is Everyone's Hometown- The Heart Line Of America.

Sometimes I Think Of Myself As A Little Bee. I Go From One Area Of The Studio To Another And Gather Pollen And Sort Of Stimulate Everybody. I Guess That’s The Job I Do.

If I Can't Find A Theme, I Can't Make A Film Anyone Else Will Feel. I Can't Laugh At Intellectual Humor. I'm Just Corny Enough To Like To Have A Story Hit Me Over The Heart.

It's Because I Like You, I Don't Want To Be With You. It's A Complicated Emotion.

Children Are People, And They Should Have To Reach To Learn About Things, To Understand Things, Just As Adults Have To Reach If They Want To Grow In Mental Stature.

If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It. Always Remember That This Whole Thing Was Started With A Dream And A Mouse.

Do What You Do So Well That They Will Want To See It Again And Bring Their Friends.

It Has That Thing - The Imagination, And The Feeling Of Happy Excitement- I Knew When I Was A Kid.

My Imagination Creates My Reality.

I Love Mickey Mouse More Than Any Woman I Have Ever Known.

Movies Can And Do Have Tremendous Influence In Shaping Young Lives.

Today We Are Shapers Of The World Of Tomorrow.

Ideas Come From Curiosity.

Animals Have Personalities Like People And Must Be Studied.

To Me, Today, At Age Sixty-one, All Prayer, By The Humble Or Highly Placed, Has One Thing In Common: Supplication For Strength And Inspiration To Carry On The Best Human Impulses Which Should Bind Us Together For A Better World.

I Wanted To Retain My Individuality. I Was Afraid Of Being Hampered By Studio Policies. I Knew If Someone Else Got Control, I Would Be Restrained.

Over At Our Place, We’re Sure Of Just One Thing: Everybody In The World Was Once A Child. So In Planning A New Picture, We Don’t Think Of Grown-ups, And We Don’t Think Of Children. But Just Of That Fine, Clean, Unspoiled Spot Down Deep In Every One Of Us, That Maybe The World Has Made Us Forget.

Disneyland Is Like Alice Stepping Through The Looking Glass; To Step Through The Portals Of Disneyland Will Be Like Entering Another World.

You're Flying Buzz! No Woody We're Falling In Style!

The Human Species, Although Happily Ridiculous At Times, Is Still Reaching For The Stars.

Disney Animation

A Lie Keeps Growing And Growing Until It's As Plain As The Nose On Your Face.

Fantasy And Reality Often Overlap.

Women Are The Best Judges Of Anything We Turn Out. Their Taste Is Very Important. They Are The Theatergoers; They Are The Ones Who Drag The Men In. If The Women Like It, To Heck With The Men.

It Is My Wish To Delight All Members Of The Family, Young And Old, Parent And Child.

That's What We Storytellers Do. We Restore Order With Imagination. We Instill Hope Again And Again And Again.

You Know, The Only Way I've Found To Make These Pictures Is With Animators. You Can't Seem To Do It With Accountants And Bookkeepers.

Life Is Beautiful. It's About Giving. It's About Family.

I Don't Think There's A Thing I Own That I Will Ever Get The Benefit Of Except Through Doing Things With It.

When We Opened Disneyland, A Lot Of People Got The Impressions That It Was A Get-rich-quick Thing, But They Didn't Realize That Behind Disneyland Was This Great Organization That I Built Here At The Studio, And They All Got Into It And We Were Doing It Because We Loved To Do It.

When We Consider A Project, We Really Study It-not Just The Surface Idea, But Everything About It. And When We Go Into That New Project, We Believe In It All The Way. We Have Confidence In Our Ability To Do It Right. And We Work Hard To Do The Best Possible Job.

Who Says That My Dreams Have To Just Stay My Dreams?

I Do Not Like To Repeat Successes, I Like To Go On To Other Things.

Animation Offers A Medium Of Story Telling And Visual Entertainment Which Can Bring Pleasure And Information To People Of All Ages Everywhere In The World.

Disney Animation

Animation Can Explain Whatever The Mind Of Man Can Conceive. This Facility Makes It The Most Versatile And Explicit Means Of Communication Yet Devised For Quick Mass Appreciation.

If Watching Is All You're Going To Do, Then You're Going To Watch Your Life Go By Without You.

Disneyland Is A Show.

I Have A Great Love Of Animals And Laughter.

At First The Cartoon Medium Was Just A Novelty, But It Never Really Began To Hit Until We Had More Than Tricks... Until We Developed Personalities. We Had To Get Beyond Getting A Laugh. They May Roll In The Aisles, But That Doesn't Mean You Have A Great Picture. You Have Pathos In The Thing.

I Think A Good Study Of Music Would Be Indispensable To The Animators - A Realization On Their Part Of How Primitive Music Is, How Natural It Is For People To Want To Go To Music - A Study Of Rhythm, The Dance - The Various Rhythms Enter Into Our Lives Every Day.

We Dance, We Kiss, We Schmooze, We Carry On, We Go Home Happy. What Do You Say? Come On.
